blimey emma woodhouse

Emma Woodhouse of Emma! You like being the queen of your social circle (small and provincial as it may be), and feel it's your duty to help those less influential than you. You often meddle in the affairs of others, though you do it with a pure heart. You are often deluded in your flights of fancy, but your good intentions and creative spirit make you someone anyone could like

hmmmmmmmmmm debateable but was charmmmmmmmmmmmming to do

I'm Elinor Dashwood also! not sure if I'm sure about that one!

"You are practical, circumspect, and discreet. Though you are tremendously sensible and allow your head to rule, you have a deep, emotional side that few people often see."

Don't think my mum would agree with this! But I did answer as honestly as I could...honest!

I've taken the test and here is my result! Apparently I am...Anne Elliot of Persuasion!

Let's face it; you're easily persuaded, particularly when friends and relatives try to use "the Elliot way" against you. But this doesn't mean that you don't have conviction. Actually, your sense of duty is overwhelming. And though you won't stick your neck out too often, you have learned to speak up when it counts. To boot, you know how to handle sticky situations. You love deeply and constantly.

Elinor Dashwood strikes again!

But I don't agree with the definition, I don't think it fits me. But we will have to see when a few more have tried, at the moment I think it just means I am like most people (another way of saying average?).

We can't ALL be Elinor Bl@@dy Dashwood! I'm darned sure I'm not but that's how I came out. I really think I'm someone's interfering old mother-in-law - or maybe Lady Catherine de Burgh!

I always like Mr Bennet best - he certainly had the best lines and put downs, but he did have that dreadful family...

I'm not Ms Dashwood

I'm.....



You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed

Blimey.... hehe

Yet another E.D. here.
